The  Faculty  of  each  school  is  made  up  of  the  heads  of  depart- 
ments offering  work  in  that  school,  the  professors  and  associate 
professors  offering  courses  in  it,  and  the  assistant  professors  and 
instructors  who  have  been  assigned  to  that  Faculty.  By  a rule 
of  the  Board  of  Regents,  only  professors  and  associate  professors 
may  be  members  of  more  than  one  Faculty.  Teachers  of  lower 
rank,  may,  however,  give  instruction  in  several  schools  of  the 
University.  In  such  cases  the  name  of  the  instructor  is  printed 
in  the  departmental  list  of  each  school  in  which  he  gives  instruc- 
tion. 

Each  Faculty  is  the  legal  governing  body  in  all  matters  con- 
cerning exclusively  its  own  school.

The  Program  of  Study. 

Leading:  to  the  Degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts. 


AMOUNT  OF  WORK  REQUIRED  FOR  GRADUATION. 

The  degree  of  bachelor  of  arts  is  conferred  upon  graduates 
of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and  Sciences  who  have  completed 
a four-year  course  consisting  of  120  hours  of  class  work,  fifteen 
hours  each  term  of  one-half  year.  Besides  this  regular  class 
work,  Freshmen  are  required  to  spend  three  hours  and  Sopho- 
mores two  hours  each  week  in  the  gymnasium.  During  the  first 
term  of  the  Freshman  year  a weekly  lecture  in  hygiene  is  also 
required. 

REGULATIONS  GOVERNING  THE  ELECTION  OF

The  courses  from  which  the  candidate  for  the  degree  must 
make  his  selection  are  listed  on  pages  76  and  77  of  this  catalogue. 
They  are  divided  into  nine  groups,  according  to  the  departments

University  of  Kansas. 


IX.  Professional.  Law  (fifteen  hours,  open  to  College 
Seniors) . 

Medicine  (second  year,  open  to  College 
Seniors) . 

In  the  choice  of  courses  from  these  groups  the  student  must 
conform  to  the  following  regulations: 

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE  REQUIREMENTS. 

Before  the  beginning  of  the  Junior  year  the  student  must  have 
completed  sixty  hours,  chosen  from  the  list  of  courses  open  to 
Freshmen  and  Sophomores  in  accordance  with  the  following 
regulations : 

1.  At  least  five  hours  must  be  taken  from  each  of  six  groups. 

2.  Not  more  than  twenty  hours  may  be  taken  in  one  depart- 
ment. 

3.  Rhetoric,  five  hours,  must  be  taken  by  all  Freshmen  not 
offering  it  as  a fourth  year  of  entrance  English. 

MAJOR  COURSE. 

Before  graduation  the  student  must  complete  a major  course 
of  not  less  than  thirty  hours  nor  more  than  sixty  hours  in  one 
group.  Not  less  than  twenty  hours  nor  more  than  forty  hours 
of  his  major  course  may  be  taken  in  one  department.  Notice  of 
the  major  group  chosen  must  be  filed  with  the  Dean  at  the  be- 
ginning of  the  Junior  year. 

FREE  ELECTIVES. 

The  work  required  for  graduation  not  included  in  the  major 
course  is  to  be  chosen  subject  to  the  restriction  that  not  more 
than  thirty  hours  may  be  elected  in  one  group. 

NUMBER  OF  HOURS  PERMITTED  IN  ONE  GROUP 
AT  ONE  TIME. 

Not  more  than  ten  hours  may  be  carried  in  one  group  at  one 
time. 

DUPLICATION  OF  SUBJECTS. 

A course  may  not  be  chosen  which  substantially  duplicates 
work  for  which  credit  has  already  been  granted. 

RESPONSIBILITY. 

The  individual  student  will  be  held  responsible  for  the  elec- 
tion of  his  courses  in  conformity  with  the  preceding  regulations. 

AMOUNT  OF  WORK  TO  BE  CARRIED  AT  ONE  TIME. 

Students  of  the  College  must  be  enrolled  in  not  less  than 
fourteen  nor  more  than  eighteen  hours  of  work,  but  all  applica- 
tions for  enrolment  are  subject  to  the  approval  of  the  Dean. 


Courses  in  Journalism. 


17 


When  the  past  record  or  current  work  of  a student  indicates 
that  he  is  unable  to  carry  advantageously  the  amount  of  work 
permitted  by  the  above  regulation,  he  may  be  limited  in  his 
enrolment  to  such  extent  as  may  be  considered  advisable  in  his 
case. 

The  Faculty  urges  students  to  confine  themselves  to  the  aver- 
age number  of  fifteen  hours  of  class  work,  and  thus  devote  four 
full  years  to  the  completion  of  their  undergraduate  work.  Ex- 
perience has  shown  that  the  crowding  of  the  undergraduate 
course  results  in  serious  loss  in  the  quality  of  the  work  accom- 
plished. 

LAW  SUBJECTS  FOR  COLLEGE  STUDENTS. 

A student  of  the  College,  having  attained  full  Senior  stand- 
ing, may  elect  not  to  exceed  one-half  of  the  work  of  his  Senior 
year,  or  fifteen  hours,  from  the  curriculum  of  the  School  of 
Law  and  have  the  same  counted  toward  the  A.  B.  degree.  To 
secure  this  privilege  the  candidate  must  register  in  the  School 
of  Law  as  well  as  the  College  during  his  Senior  year,  and  must 
confine  his  election  to  the  first  year  of  the  curriculum  of  the 
School  of  Law. 


SUBJECTS  IN  JOURNALISM. 

The  following  courses  are  organized  within  the  College  of  the 
University.  They  are  not,  except  as  to  the  regular  required 
work  of  all  students  in  the  College,  required  courses,  but  are 
made  up  of  electives  open  to  all  students  alike. 

The  courses  are  designed,  however,  to  offer  to  the  large  num- 
ber of  men  who  enter  business  from  the  University  somewhat 
the  same  definite  assistance  that  it  gives  those  who  are  to  be 
engineers,  lawyers,  etc.  This  has  been  made  possible  by  a large 
development  of  late  years  as  regards  special  courses  in  language, 
history,  mathematics,  sociology,  and  economics.  It  is  not  ex- 
pected that  the  University  can  do  more  than  organize  into  pro- 
grams of  study  leading  to  definite  ends  such  courses  as  now  may 
be  offered,  and  such  others,  few  in  number,  as  it  may  be  possible 
to  add.  The  University  does  not  seek  to  furnish  that  large  por- 
tion of  business  training  which  can  come  only  from  experience. 
It  undertakes  to  give  the  fundamental  and  specialized  courses  of 
study  that  illustrate  the  economic  forces  that  control  the  busi- 
ness world.  It  aims  at  the  same  time  to  give  the  cultural  train- 
ing which  is  indispensable  to  the  thoroughly  enlightened  citizen. 

PURPOSE  OF  THE  WORK. 

The  Department  of  Journalism  has  been  established  to  give 
to  those  students  who  intend  to  make  newspaper  work  their 
career  a training  that  shall  fit  them  for  taking  positions  in  news- 
paper offices.  It  aims  to  be  practical  as  well  as  to  include  the 
theory  of  newspaper-making,  and  teach  not  alone  the  actual 
workings  of  a newspaper  office  but  to  give  a comprehensive  idea 
of  the  principles  that  should  underlie  the  proper  presentation  of 
news,  comment  and  announcement.  The  equipment  and  the  work 


18 


University  op  Kansas. 


of  the  department  are  arranged  with  this  idea  in  view,  and  stu- 
dents are  expected  to  gain  from  the  course  a working  knowledge 
of  what  it  means  to  be  a newspaper  man  and  newspaper  woman. 

GRADE  OF  THE  WORK. 

The  following  courses  are  based  upon  the  requirements  for 
entrance  to  the  College,  and  also  upon  the  required  work  of  the 
Freshman  and  Sophomore  years.  The  remaining  work  is  in  the 
main  definitely  suggested  for  the  guidance  of  the  student  in  his 
choice  of  subjects.  It  is  also  rather  more  exacting  in  its  re- 
quirements than  the  average  work  elected  by  students. 

Students  entering  these  courses  must  have  met  the  require- 
ments for  admission  to  the  Freshman  class  of  the  College.  Stu- 
dents entering  these  courses  must  do  also  all  the  required  work 
of  the  Freshman  and  Sophomore  years,  as  laid  down  in  the  cata- 
logue, with  the  modification  that  in  the  Sophomore  year  of  the 
general  course  in  Journalism  are  required  the  two  courses  in 
newspaper  reporting — English  Language  4 and  5. 

ATTENDANCE. 

In  the  five  years  of  the  department's  operation  the  attendance 
has  grown  from  18  in  the  first  term  to  an  enrolment  of  105,  of 
whom  63  are  members  of  the  Freshman  class  of  the  College  but 
who  expect  to  take  the  newspaper  work  in  their  advanced  course. 
Forty-five  students  were  members  of  the  working  classes  last 
year. 

ADMISSION. 

The  members  of  the  newspaper  classes  are  those  from  the 
Sophomore  and  Senior  classes  of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and 
Sciences  who  may  elect  to  take  the  Journalism  course  during 
those  years,  substituting  it  for  work  in  English  and  receiving 
credit  therefor  as  in  the  English  classes.  Under  certain  condi- 
tions, special  students  are  also  admitted  to  the  classes.  These 
are  expected  to  do  the  work  of  the  regular  students  and  to  take 
the  examinations.  The  regular  students  will  receive  credits  on 
actual  work  done,  whether  in  class  assignments  or  in  news- 
gathering. 

EXAMINATIONS. 

Examinations  are  held  for  all  students  during  the  regular 
recitation  hours  of  the  last  days  of  the  term  (or  half-term), 
each  class  in  its  proper  recitation  hour;  they  may  occupy  not 
more  than  one  hour  for  each  hour  per  week  that  the  course  has 
occupied.  Examinations  must  be  held  for  all  classes  on  the  last 
day  of  the  examination  period. 

Special  examinations  will  be  given  only  during  examination 
weeks  and  during  the  opening  week  of  the  fall  term. 

All  requests  for  special  examinations  must  be  approved  by 
the  Dean. 

Failures.  All  failures  in  examinations  must  be  made  good 


Courses  in  Journalism. 


19 


at  the  earliest  possible  date,  not  more  than  one  year  from  the  date 
of  the  failure;  and  if  a failure  is  not  made  good  by  the  time  of 
the  recurrence  of  the  course,  the  work  must  be  done  in  class. 

Absence  from  examination  or  failure  in  more  than  one-third 
of  his  work,  in  any  one  term,  severs  a students  connection  with 
the  University. 

Conditions.  A student  who  has  failed  to  pass  in  any  course 
may  be  conditioned  upon  the  same  by  the  Dean,  if  in  the  opinion 
of  the  instructor  the  failure  can  be  made  good  by  the  next  ex- 
amination period,  without  detriment  to  the  regular  work  of  the 
student.  A condition  which  is  not  made  up  at  the  next  examina- 
tion period  is  placed  again  in  the  list  of  failures. 

Inadequate  Preparation . When  students  show  by  their  cur- 
rent work  insufficient  entrance  preparation  in  any  study  they 
may  be  required  to  make  good  such  deficiency  in  any  manner 
prescribed  by  their  instructors.

The  Course  of  Study. 


FRESHMAN  YEAR. 

The  work  of  the  Freshman  year  falls  completely  within  the 
regular  requirements  of  the  College,  which  include  five  hours  of 
English  composition — English  language  1 and  2.  English  litera- 
ture 1 and  2 are  also  required  as  prerequisites  for  the  newspaper 
courses  of  the  Sophomore  year. 

SOPHOMORE  YEAR. 

Apart  from  the  two  courses  in  newspaper  reporting  (English 
language  4 and  5) , the  choice  of  studies  of  the  Sophomore  year  in 
Journalism  is  subject  to  the  general  regulations  of  the  College. 
The  work  of  these  twTo  courses  in  reporting  is  devoted  to  the 
elementary  forms  of  newspaper  writing,  including  the  actual 
gathering  of  news.  The  students  are  expected  to  take  up  in 
order  the  departments  of  the  paper  and  to  study  the  needs  and 
methods  of  each.  They  are  assigned  exercises  which  must  be 
prepared  in  manuscript  form  and  handed  in  weekly  for  credits. 

ACTUAL  NEWS-GATHERING. 

The  students  of  the  Sophomore  year  are  divided  into  groups 
for  the  gathering  of  news,  one  group  being  assigned  to  each  of 
the  daily  papers  of  Lawrence,  and  expected  to  secure  and  pre- 
pare a certain  amount  of  “copy”  each  day.  This  mostly  concerns 
the  University  happenings,  but  opportunity  is  given  for  the 
exercise  of  initiative  and  the  securing  of  exclusive  news  whenever 
possible. 


JUNIOR  YEAR. 

The  work  of  the  Junior  year  is  subject  to  the  general  require- 
ments of  the  College,  and  is  outlined  below.  It  includes  five 
hours  of  advanced  English  composition. 

SENIOR  YEAR. 

The  work  of  the  Senior  year  students  is  somewhat  broader 
and  includes  the  larger  duties  of  the  newspaper  field.  The 
members  of  this  division  are  assigned  to  the  oversight  of  the 
“squads”  of  reporters  and  the  “copy”  prepared  by  the  Sopho- 
mores passes  through  their  hands  for  editing  and  arrangement 
for  the  press.  In  addition  the  History  of  Journalism,  the  art  of 
editorial  writing  and  the  lives  of  great  journalists  furnish  topics 
for  a part  of  their  work.  Theses  are  required  during  the  year 
relating  to  various  phases  of  journalistic  effort.

WORK  ON  THE  “KANSAN.” 

The  Kansan  is  the  student  paper  of  the  University,  published 
triweekly.  One-fourth  of  the  paper  is  edited  by  the  members  of 
the  Journalism  classes,  and  this  work  embraces  all  the  varieties 
of  writing  that  go  to  make  up  a newspaper  writer’s  experience — 
news  (telegraph  and  local),  editorial,  feature,  correspondence 
and  advertising  are  utilized  in  this  training,  making  a practical 
laboratory  experience.

THE  COMPOSING-ROOM. 

In  connection  with  the  University  is  a complete  printing  office 
in  which  many  students  do  regular  work,  being  paid  by  the  hour. 
It  also  furnishes  opportunity  for  seeing  exactly  what  is  done  in 
the  mechanical  part  of  a paper.  During  the  coming  year  a 
Merganthaler  Linotype  is  to  be  installed,  and  each  student  of 
the  classes  is  expected  to  spend  some  time  learning  the  elemen- 
tary principles  of  its  operation,  thus  fitting  him  for  a clear 
comprehension  of  composition  as  now  carried  on  by  all  first-class 
papers. 

LECTURES. 

Lectures  are  given  before  the  class  by  many  prominent  editors 
and  newspaper  workers  besides  the  instructors.  These  speakers 
are  chosen  with  especial  reference  to  their  fitness  to  give  prac- 
tical information  on  their  topics,  and  among  them  are  included 
many  men  of  national  prominence.  A list  of  those  who  have  de- 
livered lectures  before  the  Journalism  classes  recently  includes 
the  names  of  Miss  Ida  M.  Tarbell,  Mr.  Hamilton  Holt,  Dr.  Lyman 
Abbott,  and  more  than  fifty  of  the  most  prominent  editors  of 
Kansas  and  neighboring  states. 

ADVERTISING. 

Arrangements  have  been  completed  for  the  addition  during 
next  year  of  a series  of  lectures  on  the  Science  of  Advertising. 
These  will  take  up  both  the  preparation  of  advertising  “copy” 
and  the  methods  of  handling  the  advertising  pages.  This  series 
will  be  given  by  Mr.  F.  A.  Gray,  president  of  the  Gray  Adver- 
tising Company,  and  a prominent  member  of  the  Kansas  City 
Ad  Club. 

OTHER  FEATURES. 

Among  other  addresses  arranged  is  one  on  “The  Work  of  the 
Associated  Press,”  by  Mr.  G.  A.  Nichols,  M.  A.,  of  the  Kansas 
City  Associated  Press  office.  Charles  Blakesley,  of  the  Kansas 
City  Star  editorial  staff,  will  talk  on  “Editorial  Writing,”  and 
W.  B.  Taylor,  the  Star's  exchange  editor,  will  tell  of  the  ex- 
change department  of  great  newspapers.  C.  C.  Cline,  managing 
editor  of  the  Kansas  City  Journal , will  lecture  on  “Newspaper 
Making.”  Albert  T.  Reid  will  give  an  address  on  “The  Art 
of  Illustrating.”  William  Allen  White,  W.  Y.  Morgan,  F.  P. 
MacLennan  and  a number  of  prominent  Kansas  editors  will 
give  addresses,  and  some  popular  lectures  on  Journalism  will 
be  given  by  men  from  out  of  the  state. 

THE  JOURNALISM  LIBRARY. 

The  School  of  Journalism  subscribes  for  a number  of  leading 
papers  of  the  world,  representing  not  only  the  great  papers  of 
this  country  but  of  Europe.  In  addition  it  has  collected  (and  is 
adding  to  the  collection  steadily)  a large  number  of  representa- 
tive papers,  issued  in  every  part  of  the  globe,  as  well  as  some 


24 


University  of  Kansas. 


curious  and  unusual  issues.  These  with  the  daily  files  of  current 
publications  make  a working  library  of  much  value  to  the  stu- 
dents. 

TEXT-BOOKS. 

The  text-book  of  the  newspaper  classes  is  the  newspaper,  and 
the  students  are  required  to  study  the  best  papers  of  the  country 
to  gain  from  them  ideas  of  style,  methods  and  treatment  of 
news.  The  varying  plans  of  newspaper  arrangement  are  em- 
phasized, and  students  are  expected  to  become  familiar  with 
each.  During  the  year  a special  issue  of  a paper  is  published, 
all  the  work  aside  from  the  actual  composition  being  done  by 
members  of  the  class. 

During  the  past  year  leading  newspapers  of  Kansas  City  and 
Topeka  have  given  qualified  students  two-weeks  tryouts  as  reg- 
ular reporters,  and  this  will  be  continued  where  such  pro- 
ficiency is  exhibited  as  makes  it  advisable.
